This was reccommended to my by two people. I went there for lunch and had the chicken parmesian and it was over cooked. The marinara sauce on the penne pasta was bland. In fact there is sauce in a jar that is much better. The dessert was huge and very good but I would not retun.
A little background on myself... I moved down to this area about 3 years ago from Providence, RI. I come from an Italian family and have enjoyed Italian food up on "the hill" in Providence (look it up). Anyway, I have never been impressed with chain Italian restaurants (especially Macaroni Grill and Carrabbas... YUCK). Even mom and pop Italian joints in Florida are mediocre at best. Let me tell you ANTONIO'S IS AUTHENTIC! Delicious and authentic, it's the best of the best. The portions are huge! And guess what? It's not expensive. The prices are extremely reasonable, especially in comparison to how much food you get. Try the mussels... oh and the manicotti... and the lasagna... oh and the house vinaigrette is amazing... and the bolognese sauce is unbeatable... and the portion you get with the Frutti de Mare. I could go on and on. You gotta try it for yourself! Bravo
Well worth the time: Generous portions. Authentic taste without being overbearing. High quality ingredients that will be enjoyed by everyone in your party.
